Now, about the original situation, it seems to me like the woman didn't realize she did anything wrong. Perhaps she thought she was helping out by "correcting" your mistake, something mom's do the world over, even when the kids are adults. Sometimes mothers don't know when to quit "helping" the kids around them. You obviously know her and I don't, so you have to make your own judgement on that.
Amen! to the above. My favourite Mother-in-Law was that type. It made visits really trying! I remember on one trip home after a particular trying time, my wife remarked, "You know? I like my Mother-in-Law much better than I like yours!" By this time we had been married about 35 years, and all the kids had already left home.

Sadly, we can choose our friends, but we are handed our relatives and are stuck with them.
